The Mission: Impossible franchise seemed to be setting up Gabriel to be its most fearsome villain yet, but Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoningundoes all of that in a genuinely confusing way ...

“Oh God, that was brutal,” Cruise remembered as the director noted: “This separated the joints in Tom’s fingers from the force, so by the time we finished this sequence, your hands were absolutely swollen — oh my God, it was so painful to watch.”

Sure, they have been improbable, but it seems that the team can achieve just about anything. Was it any surprise then that, even after how it was built up as the fight of a lifetime, Hunt and co. ultimately defeated Gabriel (Esai Morales) and the Entity in Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning?

The latest film is a direct sequel to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, released in 2023. The film released in theatres on May 17. Its international digital rollout has begun, but for now, there is no confirmed streaming platform or digital release date for India yet.

Tom Cruise's hands were swollen and he almost broke his back while filming the popular biplane action sequence in his latest release, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.
